Key Transpose - Yamaha DX200 Owner's Manual

Key Transpose

Range: C1 - C5 (MIDI notes 36 - 84)
This determines the overall pitch (key) transposition setting for the pattern. The default
value is C3 (60). Use this control to change the octave setting of a pattern, or change it
to a key for ease in playing. For example, to play the pattern in the key of C but have it
sound in the key of F#, enter a value of F#3 or F#2 (depending on whether you want to
transpose up or down).
In the DX200 Editor window:
Click KEY TRANSPOSE, then type in the value MIDI note value (36 - 84; note names
cannot be typed) and press [enter] on the computer keyboard. Or use the mouse but-
tons to increment/decrement the values.
In the Edit Panel window:
1) Click on Pattern Select button [31] (KEY TRANSPOSE).
2) Select the DX200 Editor window.
3) Click the desired key on the "virtual" keyboard. (The DATA ENTRY controls in the
Edit Panel window cannot be used to change the value.)
4) Return to the Edit Panel window to continue editing or save the pattern.
Pitch Bend Parameters
These parameters determine how the Pitch Bend wheel (on the connected MIDI
keyboard) affects the pitch of the pattern.
• The Pitch Bend parameters are
• Pitch Bend Range
Range: 0 ... 12 semitones
This determines the maximum amount of pitch change with the Pitch Bend wheel, up or
down. When set to "0," there is no pitch change. When set to the default of "2," pitch can
be raised or lowered by a maximum of 2 semitones (1 whole step). The maximum setting
of "12" gives you a full two-octave range (one octave down, one up).
• This parameter is automatically set to "12" and cannot be changed unless Pitch Bend Step
(below) is set to "0."
